The wave remained, but at the same time there was not a single protruding hair on it - miracles! It felt like I had just gone to the salon for a haircut. In my case, the novelty coped with its task by 10 out of 5. You need to take quite a bit of money - without fanaticism.

Spray for finishing fixation Awapuhi WIld Ginger Finishing Spray, Paul Mitchell

Editor's Choice BeautyHack

Packaging is an aesthetic pleasure. Black with a matte finish and white miniature hyacinth. The name Wild Ginger (“Wild Ginger”) is like from fairy tales about Robin Hood.

Tested before Saturday party. I love my natural hair texture, but on rainy days, those airy curls straighten out, leaving a vellus halo on top. I tried to fix my natural volume: I sprayed two doses of spray at the hair roots (I kept the tube at a distance of 20-30 centimeters, according to the instructions). The aroma is a mixture of spicy ginger and the smell of a rain forest (fresh, vegetal, relaxing). I wanted to touch my hair to tell you about the varnish coating, but I didn’t feel any changes - the hair seemed softer than it was, there was no “lacquer crust” left.

It became interesting to me what caused such a slight effect - I studied the label. Awapuhi WIld Ginger Finishing Spray contains moisturizing awapuhi plant extract. It takes care of your hair while your style lasts. By the way, Sir Paul Mitchell himself discovered the benefits of this Hawaiian hair flower!

The varnish coped with its task - it kept my hair structure even after walking along the bridge in drizzling rain.

Shampoo with baobab leaf extract, Yves Rocher

Editor's Choice BeautyHack

It so happened that I almost fail to find quality budget resources that would work on frizzy hair. But for the second time, Yves Rocher funds outperform premium ones. The first remedy is a balm conditioner with mallow from the Volume series. And the second is shampoo with baobab extract for curly hair. It does not weigh down, but visually the strands look more dense. I can’t say that they turn into perfect natural curls (only styling can do this), but the hairstyle looks really neat. The baobab extract in the composition is responsible for shine and nutrition. Yves Rocher has a whole series of products with this component.

Price: 380 rubles.

They look very impressive even without much styling. However, they have a special structure, so they require special care, careful selection of cosmetic products and styling methods. MedAboutMe will tell you about the secrets of curly hair care.

The specifics of curly hair

Many girls dream of bouncy curls, and they have to put in quite a lot of effort to make styling with curls. Ladies with curly hair are lucky in that they don't have to traumatize their hair with hot tools to create curls.

However, curly hair differs significantly from straight hair in its structure, so caring for them is more difficult. So, the main feature of natural curly hair is their porous structure. Due to the fact that the cuticle scales do not fit snugly, the curls are porous and drier than straight hair.

Naturally curly hair is prone to tangling, brittleness, and split ends. Most often, the owners of such hair dry scalp. Due to these features, curly hair is more capricious in care.

Hair care in this case is aimed at washing with mild detergents, constant moisturizing, using professional nourishing masks, proper drying, combing and styling.

Hair care of any type begins with the selection of suitable cosmetics for washing. Since the owners of curly hair usually have dry scalp, the shampoo should be the most gentle.

Girls with natural curls are lucky that their curls do not require frequent washing because they are not as greasy as straight strands. Choose shampoo and conditioner from the line "for curly hair". Such products contain less aggressive surfactants, but at the same time they include various extracts, extracts, and moisturizing components.

Note: If you have curly hair, never buy volumizing shampoos. The scales of the cuticle of naturally curly hair are already loose, and such shampoos will make the curls even more brittle.

You can understand how shampoo suits you by the condition of your hair: after washing, they should become softer, supple, and elastic. If the curls after washing are stiff, electrified, then you should change the shampoo.

If your curls are damaged, then it makes sense to try co-washing conditioners during the recovery period: these are products with a minimum amount of surfactants, without silicones. This method is not recommended for everyday hair care, but it can bring damaged and withered curls back to life.

Drying as the second stage of care

Drying is the second stage of this type of hair care, since it also has its own specifics. Dry curls should be extremely delicate. Wrap your wet hair in a towel to absorb all the moisture, then let it dry on its own. Do not rub your hair with a towel, do not comb wet curls, so as not to damage them.

This type of hair is more sensitive to hot temperatures, so it is better to refuse to use a hair dryer, and use it only in extreme cases.

Note: if you are used to washing your hair in the morning and you need to dry your hair as quickly as possible, then dry it at the lowest temperature, ideally with cool air and with a diffuser nozzle.

For owners of curls, combing is one of the most difficult procedures. Curly hair is prone to tangles, which makes it difficult to comb it well. In addition, if the curls are combed like straight hair, they will begin to fluff, which will lead to the effect of "dandelion". To comb curls, pick up a special comb: it can be a Tangle Teezer or Tangle Angel comb - they are soft, do not tear out hair, or combs with rare teeth, combs with an ionization function (they have an antistatic effect).

The main thing in styling is to keep the shape of the curls. To do this, after washing, a leave-in conditioner or oil for curls is applied to wet curls - these products help the curls to take the correct shape, add shine. Then, along the entire length, you can apply mousse or spray for curly hair, which will fix the styling. If you need to comb the curls or touch up the styling, gently “disassemble” them with wet fingers, then sprinkle with a spray or apply a little oil for curls, after rubbing a drop between your palms.

In the line of professional hair care products you will find a huge variety of products for curly hair. As for home remedies, it should be understood that the yolk or sour cream is not able to restore damaged hair or restore elasticity and strength to chemically dyed hair, so they can only be considered as an additional way of care.

If we talk about vegetable oils, such as coconut oil or jojoba, they are really useful in care, but you should remember that they wash out the dye, which is undesirable if you have gray hair or if you dye your curls in bright colors.

For care curly hair you can use a nourishing cream to model curls. For example, from the Alterna brand. The leave-in cream contains light oils and extracts that do not weigh down the curls, but at the same time make them smooth, elastic and shiny.

Introduce leave-in conditioner lotions into your care, which prevent hair from electrifying, make curls more expressive and shiny, and also nourishing masks for curly hair. The special formula of these products is aimed at smoothing the scales of porous curls and preventing their fragility. You can find masks for curls from the brands L "Oreal Professionnel, Wella, Londa Professional.

If your curls are very fluffy, then you can pick up special serums for curly hair with an antistatic effect. They can be used immediately after shampooing or throughout the day.

Curly hair looks beautiful and rich only if it is properly styled. How to create flawless curls at home, read in this article ...

Problems with curly hair

I have had curly hair since childhood. Therefore, for their 25 years in their care, as they say, she ate a dog. Styling curly hair is no easy task. The curls curl in the directions they need, constantly strive to get out of the hairstyle, fluff up in wet weather ... The same curls will understand me. Therefore, I will share with you my secrets of styling curly hair.

Heat protectants for curly hair

After washing my hair, I always use thermal protection products: creams, oils, foams, mousses or emulsions. There are no special preferences. It is desirable, of course, a more natural composition. I put them on rather damp hair, not dried. If you want to create the effect of wet hair - use on almost dry. Curly hair is always porous and drier. Therefore, drying them even more is a very easy task. Even if you only use the hair dryer on a gentle setting. Therefore, they always need additional protection.

The main rule: apply only a drop of thermal protective agent on the bottom of the hair or even just the ends. Curly hair is rarely heavy and thick, so excess product will make it unkempt. I sometimes put a drop of natural oil (olive, almond or coconut) on the ends of my hair (which are very prone to splitting).

But I don't recommend sprays. Firstly, the way they are applied already fluffs my hair. Secondly, the alcohol included in most products dries them very much.

Sometimes I spray on my hair to update my hair. homemade curly hair spray. It consists of the following ingredients: a glass of mineral water (purified from gases), two drops of essential oils of sage and jasmine. Pour the resulting product into any spray bottle and use as needed. This volume lasts a week for my medium length hair. In any case, after the expiration of this time, I do a fresh spray. Keep the product away from direct sunlight.

How to comb curly hair

If I need volume at the roots and beautiful curls, I do not comb my hair at all. Yes Yes. After shampooing, I detangle my hair with my fingers. A good balm or conditioner helps me with this. If this does not work out, I can use a comb with very rare but long teeth.

If you wind your hair on curlers or style it with a curling iron, you can use a good massage brush.

How to dry curly hair the right way

I prefer the natural option, when the hair dries on its own, in the air. If I use a hair dryer, then not cold air, but warm, but at the lowest temperature. They dry only the roots or a third of the length of the hair. This creates the desired volume at the roots, and the tips do not dry out. I direct the air flow from top to bottom so that individual hairs do not fluff and separate.

How to style curly hair

If I want a natural hairstyle, then I dry the roots with a hair dryer, as described in the previous paragraph. Then I apply a little styling product for curly hair (for example, gel or foam) to the lower part of the still damp hair and carefully knead the tips with my hands in the direction from the floor up. I go through all my hair and leave it to dry naturally. After a while, I can again walk with slightly damp hands over the already formed curls. And so - until completely dry.

If there is little time for styling, then I lower my head completely down, the hair should hang freely. On wet curls, I also apply a styling agent. And I dry my hair with a hairdryer in the direction from the bottom up, at the same time crushing the tips with my hands in the same way.

If I need more correct curls, for example, shaped with a curling iron, I quickly dry my hair with a hair dryer with a brush. As if aligning them. Then I wind my hair on the curling iron as I need.

I do not like to use brushing and hair dryer. It dries out the hair and straightens out the curls.

Sometimes I wind almost dry hair on medium Velcro curlers. I leave them to dry completely. Carefully unwind and get beautiful curls and good root volume.

A self-made spray helps me to update my hair (read about it above). If the hair is fluffy, coconut or almond oil rubbed on the palms helps to style it.

Here are my curly hair care tips. Hope you found what you were looking for.

About my hair: dry, porous, thin, naughty, curly, never dyed, 2 times cut under a square.
Color: blond
How many years have I been growing almost 4 years
What length do I want: on the this moment 80 cm
Length now: 64 cm

Let's start with the background
As a child, I was very curly and my mother could not comb my hair, because I did not let her do it (it hurt me, because they were always tangled).


I always went to school with braids until the age of 11, as it was the easiest way to pacify my mane (and the hair from the braids was straighter). I washed my hair with regular shampoo, I didn’t have any masks, balms, I combed my hair very hard, I constantly tore it.

And then one day during summer holidays in Tiraspol (because there is a terrible heat), I asked my mother to cut me under the square (I was then about 11 years old). This was a terrible mistake! I still regret it. It's a pity there are no photos. At the time, I didn’t realize how beautiful my hair was. But then I really liked this square, but I liked it so much that a couple of years later I repeated it in my city, but unsuccessfully. Until now, with a shudder, I remember my “stubs” of hair, my tears after this “haircut”. In the photo below, they are already branches of a centimeter by 4-5. So imagine what happened before. Nightmare!

I started hair care only in 2012 at the end of the 2nd year of university. After my ends were trimmed, I went to the pharmacy and bought my first oil - jojoba oil. Then I found out that pharmaceutical oils not best quality and started ordering them online.
My favorite companies: Workshop of Olesya Mustaeva and Spivak (but they are also not mega-natural).
I started restoring my hair with oils. I tried a ton of oils, it makes no sense to paint everything.
At the moment my favorites are from base oils are:
- coconut oil
- argan oil
-linseed oil
- monoi de tahiti oil
- broccoli oil
-Shea Butter
-cacao butter
- almond oil
- hemp oil
-jojoba oil
Favorite essential oils:
-lavender
-ylang-ylang
-bay (for growth)
-sage
- rosemary (for growth)
- cinnamon (for growth)

Homemade masks
When I started to restore my hair, I did oil masks 3-4 times a week, once a week I always left the mask overnight. Now I do oil masks 2 times a week (and sometimes 1) before washing my hair and that's enough for me.
It is advisable to leave oil masks on all night, but should only be applied to the length.
It is better not to keep such masks on the hair roots for more than 2 hours, as they can clog pores, and as a result, hair loss will increase, they will become oily faster.
IMPORTANT: Essential oils should never be stirred with a metal spoon! Only wooden or, in extreme cases, plastic.
The main thing is to make masks regularly and not be lazy!

1. Mask with coconut oil
We will need: coconut oil
I comb my hair, take a little oil (the melting point of the oil is 25˚), rub it in my palms and apply it to the hair with “squeezing” movements, as if pressing the oil into the hair (I apply only on the length). I comb my hair with a comb so that the oil is better distributed through the hair (this is what I do for all oil masks). Next, I twist my hair into a bun, I put on a bag, a hat and go to bed (but more often I just braid my hair or make a bun, put a towel on my pillow and sleep like that). I wash everything off in the morning.
Lately, that's all I've been doing.

2. Kefir mask
We will need:
- 1 glass of kefir (preferably fatter)
- 7 drops of lavender essential oil
- 7 drops of sage essential oil
- sometimes I add cocoa
I heat kefir in a water bath (you can heat it in the microwave), add essential oils to it and mix. I apply this mixture to the roots and the entire length of the hair, twist the bun, put on a bag, a hat and walk until I get bored (at least an hour, usually about 3 hours). After I wash everything off with warm water and wash my hair as usual.
P.S. The mask is leaking.

3. Sour cream mask with cocoa
We will need:
- 1 glass of sour cream
- 7 drops of lavender essential oil (or any other essential oil)
- cocoa powder
The principle is the same as with the kefir mask.
I heat sour cream + cocoa in a water bath (you can heat it in the microwave), add essential oils to the mixture and mix. I apply the mask on the roots and length of the hair, twist the bun, put on a bag, a hat (I walk for about 3 hours). After I wash everything off with warm water and wash my hair as usual.
P.S. The mask is leaking.

4. Egg mask with honey and aloe
As you know, how well the hair has formed in the bulb, so good hair will be in the future. That is, you need to take good care of the scalp, drink vitamins, so that the hair is initially formed strong and healthy.
We will need:
- aloe pulp (or aloe gel)

- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 2 yolks
- burdock oil (or any base oil)
- 7 drops of ylang-ylang essential oil
- 6 drops of rosemary essential oil

Mix pulp or aloe gel with honey, yolk, burdock oil, ylang-ylang and rosemary essential oils + vitamins A and E. Apply the mixture to the hair roots, twist the bun, put on a bag and a cap.
I go with her for an hour, then I wash off with warm water and my head as usual.

5. Supermix oils
We will need:
- 2 tablespoons of linseed oil
- cacao butter
- Shea Butter
- almond oil
- hemp oil
- jojoba oil
-butter walnut
-olive oil
- pumpkin seed oil
- essential oil of lavender, sage, rosemary (sometimes I add more patchouli and ylang-ylang)
Melt cocoa butter and shea butter in a water bath, when the mixture cools down (barely warm), add oils there: almond, hemp, jojoba, walnut, olive, pumpkin. We mix everything. Then add lavender, sage, patchouli and ylang-ylang oils (about 5 drops each). Mix again.
Apply to the length of the hair for 2 hours (or better for 3, you can also at night). The mask is very oily, but the effect of it is amazing.

6. Sea buckthorn oil
For nutrition of hair roots I like to make this mask:
- sea buckthorn oil
- rosemary essential oil
- 1 teaspoon of vitamin A and E
I mix everything, apply a mask on the roots (it can also be for a length), put on a bag, a hat and walk for an hour. Then I wash off with warm water and my head as usual.
Be careful, sea buckthorn oil dyes very well!

Girls, do not expect miracles from oils after the first application! To have a result, you need to use oils regularly (at least for two to three months). I have been restoring my hair that was killed from poor treatment with oils for a very long time ( over a year for sure). And a small result appeared, personally for me, only after six months! But when I saw him, I was extremely happy. The result was worth all my efforts.
Oils prevent splitting and breakage. It provides, and does not treat, already damaged and split ends. Split hair should only be cut off and nothing else! And only then treat with oils and other means (more on that below)
IMPORTANT! If you have completely dead hair on your head (improper lightening, dyeing, perm, hair burned with an iron, etc.), then NOTHING won't save your hair! There is only one way out - cut off everything and start growing.

7 steps for the beauty of your hair.
Now let's look at what should be the RIGHT care for our hair.
I think many people know, but I still repeat that in the care of any type of hair, it is best to use multi-layer care, in which there should be an emphasis on nutrition(e.g. oils) hydration(products containing: hyaluronic acid, d-panthenol, glycerin, aloe extract, betaine, marine collagen, etc., for example, spray from Librederm), recovery (products that include: proteins, keratin, collagen, elastin, etc., for example, lundenilona 3 in 1 night mask) and hair protection (products that contain: aminopropyl phenyl trimethicone, phenyl trimethicone, etc.) I will soon make a separate review about this.
So, first stage- hair cleansing Shampoos are included.
Second step- mask (balm, conditioner).
Third step- ampoule care.
Fourth step- sprays. They are needed to moisturize, protect hair from the sun, easy combing ...
Fifth step- milk (cream) for hair.
Sixth step- oil (any non-rinse), thermal protection for the ends of the hair.
seventh step- A well-chosen hairbrush.
Below I will describe each step in more detail.

My curly hair care tips:

1. Combing (7th step).
About how to comb properly, I wrote in the article. I don't think I'll repeat myself here.

2. Proper shampooing.
I wash my hair upside down.
I think it's right to wash my hair like this: first, I wet my hair thoroughly with warm water! water, then I pour the shampoo into my palms, lather it and only then apply it to the roots! hair, gently massaging the scalp (foam flows down the hair, do not rub the hair itself!). Then again I pour the shampoo into my palms and repeat the procedure, that is I wash my hair twice(for the first time, dirt, styling products are washed off the hair ...). After that, I thoroughly wash my hair from the shampoo with warm water, then gently squeeze the water from the hair to apply the mask (balm, conditioner), wait the set time for the mask (balm, conditioner) to work and rinse my hair with cool water (this action closes the hair scales making our hair smooth and shiny).
But if I did oily masks, or styled my hair with a lot of styling products, or if I wash my hair with deep cleansing shampoo (SHGO), then carefully distribute the foam along the length of the hair.
IMPORTANT! You can not wash your hair with hot water, as the sebaceous glands on our head begin to work actively, and the hair will very quickly become greasy, and may still lose its shine.
Wash your hair only when it gets dirty!

2.1. Shampoos. (1st step)
My Shampoo Requirements:
First, and most importantly, they should clean the hair well.
Second, should not exacerbate existing problems.
Third, suit my scalp type.
fourth, There should be a shampoo for every season.
I try to use organic shampoos and alternate them before each wash (my favorites are Amla and Chamomile solid shampoo from Olesya Mustaeva's Workshop; Organic Tai Frangipani shampoo; gel-cream for washing the hair from ChocoLatte "White Grape", "Strawberry", "Citrus").



But, some of my masks contain Amodimethicone. After using these masks (for example, the mask from Angel orange), I wash my hair with professional shampoo.

Amodimethicone does not tend to create strong layers, does not dissolve in water, however, it is completely washed out with shampoos with Lauryl Sulfate (Lauryl Sulfate), Laureth Sulfate (Laureth Sulfate) or Cocamidopropil Betaine (Cocamidopropyl Betaine).

For the summer I bought myself a couple of professional shampoos: shampoo from Angel Professional Solar series and a deep cleansing shampoo (GOSH) also from Angel Professional, which I will use once a month, since I use masks with silicones.
GOSH (or SHGO) - designed for deep cleansing of hair from various contaminants accumulated in them. If your hair is oversaturated with masks and other care products (varnishes, foams ...), hang like icicles, become dull, then you simply need a deep cleaning shampoo. Conventional shampoos wash out only superficial dirt, and the dirt inside the hair continues to accumulate.

2.2. Masks, balms, conditioners. (2nd step)
Now I use professional masks for length, and organic masks for roots (I used to love exclusively organic care, it restored my hair very well, but now it has become too long (64 cm), it lacks moisture and protection from organics. Therefore, about 1 5 years ago I switched to prof).
IMPORTANT! No need to climb into the mask with wet hands (since taking a bath or shower, water gets into the mask), it is better to use wooden spoon or spatula, or try to wipe your hands.
My favorite professional masks:
a) Hair mask Angel Professional Instant recovery with Argan oil;

b) Hair mask ANGEL Professional Nutritious cream for hair;

v) Cream-mask for hair Brelil NUMERO with oats

G) Masks from Kaaral (Hydra and with royal jelly - took for bottling)

My favorite organic masks
a) Cream mask sunlight Minoxidil 1% Burr oil + tea tree with sea buckthorn (and other cream masks of this series) - stimulates hair growth due to the content of minoxidil in it - I apply it to the roots;

b) Balm-conditioner for hair Workshop of Olesya Mustaeva with broccoli oil - I put on the length.
I also really like the Angel Professional MARINE DEPTH SPA CONDITIONER hair conditioner.
I apply masks (balms, conditioners) like this: after washing my hair 2 times, I gently wring out (do not twist) the hair to remove excess moisture, which will prevent the mask (or conditioner) from absorbing well (you can wrap them in a towel that absorbs this excess moisture), and then apply organic mask on the roots, and a professional mask on the length. I withstand the necessary time, rinse with cool water (I repeat, cool in order to close the hair scales).
I wash my head 2 times a week at night (but sometimes for important events so that the curls lie better in the morning). The first time (Wednesday) I apply a mask for the length, and the second time (Sunday) I apply conditioner. I apply an organic mask on the roots every time.
After every shampoo, I try to rinse my hair with herbs.
My favorite: sage, chamomile, nettle, linden, mint.

3. Ampoule care. (3rd stage)

Even if the hair is in excellent condition, they need special care. Modern cosmetology offers ampoules for hair restoration. As a rule, multi-component care products contain a whole range of useful amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Such a "cocktail" of nutrients not only strengthens, but also penetrates deep into the hair structure.

Ampoule care - although rare, but indispensable care for my hair. With it, the hair just comes to life! I use ampoules every two weeks.
I tried only 3 ampoules (from Selective, Dikson and Lakme). The last ones I liked the most.
How to use the ampoule from Lakme
I use the ampoule after shampoo, I apply the product for 15 minutes on damp hair wrung out with a towel. When you pour the product into the palm of your hand, you immediately feel the warming effect. You need to pour very carefully so as not to spill. The oil must be carefully distributed along the entire length of the hair (retreat about 15 centimeters from the roots), whip the foam with “bumping” movements (be sure to beat until foam, otherwise there will be no result! Checked!) The oil foams very well.
After I apply conditioner (or balm). I keep it for 5-10 minutes and wash it off with a cold one! water. I do the procedure once every two weeks and I think this is sufficient for my hair.
As a result, my hair is soft, silky, supple and very well hydrated.
Result from ampoules + comprehensive care

4. Hair drying
After I washed my hair (item 2 ), I wrap my hair with a towel (like a turban) and walk like this for a minute or two (no more 5 ) to absorb excess moisture.
Then I gently unroll the "turban" and gently dab my hair, don't rub them.
Advice: If you blow dry your hair, then dry it it is better with cold air using a diffuser attachment and be sure to apply thermal protection (and if you straighten your hair, thermal protection will help you, without it there is a risk of severely damaging your hair)! This is my personal opinion.

5. Leave-in products (4th, 5th and 6th steps) and hair styling
When the hair dries a little (they are not wet, but wet!), I either comb them with a Tangle Angel comb (if I wash my hair in the morning),
either I divide my hair into two tails (I do this at night), as if I'm going to weave two braids, I spray the tips and length of the hair with a spray (for example, Librederm - 4th step) and put on them leave-in products first for a length (for example, cream - 5th step), then on the tips (for example, CHI leave-in 6th step). Then I tilt my head down and begin to "pin" the hair to help the curls form better. I sleep with this “hairstyle” on my head.
Since it’s hard to see, I explain: I tilt my head down, put my hair through the elastic, as if I’m going to tie my tail, make one turn, and don’t stick my hair through the second turn of the elastic. According to this principle, a hair bow is woven from hair.
In the morning, I just gently untie it, lightly moisten my hair with water, “squeeze” my hair and get fresh and beautiful curls. This is the only way I style my hair.
If during the day the hairs begin to fluff, then I simply smooth them with water, or spray them with a spray.
Besides cream and leave-in, I don’t style my hair with anything (with these two products, my hair already lies well), because I’m afraid that such products as mousse, gel will dry my hair or stick it together, but I still want to try the foam from Angel ).
I will give below An example of my favorite leave-in products.

Leave-in products for length
a) Angel Professional Paris Nourishing Algae Hair Cream (leave-on) is my favorite;

b) MoltoBene hair milk is also a wonderful tool.
v) Cream from Londa - for the summer to protect hair from the sun
Leave-in products for hair ends
a) CHI Silk Infusion Revitalizing Hair Treatment;

b) Argan oil for hair with gold particles Tahe Keratin gold. I have it recently, but I have already managed to fall in love with it;
v) Dancoly Angel Professional Revitalizing Hair Oil;
None of these products dry out my hair.

Hair sprays
a) Fluid hair conditioner Librederm Hyaluronic;
b) Moisturizing serum KAPOUS DUAL RENASCENCE 2 phase;
v) Spray Angel from the Sunscreen series
They perfectly moisturize the hair.

Hair after complex care:

6. Hairpins.
I use rubber bands, wires, they are very comfortable and do not tear my hair.

7. Hair Growth Products
Since my hair grows very slowly, I stimulate hair growth with masks.

homemade remedies

1. Homemade burdock oil
I never liked burdock oil in a pharmacy, so I decided to cook it myself, because it's so easy!
For its preparation we need:
- burdock roots
-mustard oil
- calamus roots
Mustard oil is poured into a jar in which you will infuse your oil. Then we pour burdock roots and calamus roots into it (how much to pour depends on your jar, I poured about 2 tablespoons into my eye), shake the jar so that the roots are completely in oil and put it all in a warm place for 10 days. After 10 days, filter the oil and you can smear the hair roots.

2. Nettle oil
For its preparation we need:
- nettle leaves
- mustard oil (or olive oil)
It is done in the same way as burdock oil:
Mustard oil is poured into a jar in which you will infuse your oil. Then we pour nettle leaves into it, shake the jar so that the leaves are completely in oil and put it all in a warm place for 10 days. After 10 days, filter the oil and you can smear the hair roots.

3. Mustard mask
This well-known mask helps hair growth very well, as it bakes the scalp perfectly. But it must be used carefully, it can burn the skin, as well as dry the hair.
To prepare this mask, we need:
- 1 tablespoon mustard powder
- 1 tablespoon of sugar (if the mustard does not bake, you can add 2 tablespoons)
- nettle decoction (by eye)
- 1 yolk
- 1-2 tablespoons of burdock (mustard) oil

Nettle broth, mustard powder and sugar are mixed until a homogeneous, not too liquid consistency, then add oils and yolk and apply strictly to the roots. Be sure to generously lubricate the length of the hair with oils, otherwise the mustard will dry out all the hair! Then we put on a bag, a hat and walk like this for 15-30 minutes (depending on how it bakes) or even less, look at your feelings (if it bakes a lot, don’t endure it, otherwise you will burn your scalp, dandruff may appear!). Rinse off not with hot water, but with lukewarm water, otherwise there will be a fire on the head.
Carefully, try not to get on the face, or in the nose, or in the eyes while washing off this mixture! It is better to make a mask in courses (for example, 1 month, 1 time per week).

4. Scrub for the scalp with essential oils
We will need:
- finely ground sea salt
-6 drops of bay essential oil
-5 drops of rosemary essential oil
-clay
I mix all the ingredients and gently scrub the scalp before washing the hair (I always apply oil to the lengths and tips so that the salt does not dry them out).
Why am I adding clay?
If you scrub your scalp with just salt with the addition of essential oils, the salt crumbles a lot (maybe someone is lucky and everything is in order), and when I add clay, everything is perfectly applied. Clay is also very useful for hair.
Salt scalp scrub:
- accelerates hair growth (as blood circulation of the scalp improves);
- prevents hair loss;
- hair after it is less oily;
- removes dead cells;
- cleanses the scalp.

5. Pepper mask
We will need:
- tincture of capsicum
- hair balm (natural, without sls)
Such a mask is applied only to the roots, it is necessary to apply an oil mask to the length, since pepper can dry the hair, I put on a bag and a hat on top. The scalp should be well baked. I usually go with it for about an hour, then gently wash it off with warm water, then my head as usual. It, like the mustard mask, is best done in courses.

6. Mask with essential oil of cinnamon (or bay)
We will need:
- essential oil of cinnamon (or bay)
- base oil (burdock, mustard, sea buckthorn)
We drip about 5-6 drops of cinnamon essential oil (or about 10 drops of bay ether) into the base oil, stir and apply to the scalp. Carefully! Cinnamon is very strong! It’s better to start adding, for example, 3 drops of cinnamon ether, and then, if it’s bad to bake, increase the number of drops. I keep it for about half an hour (sometimes an hour), wash it off.

Purchasable funds

1. Minoxidil

I have been using Minoxidil recently (since April 2016). I apply it on clean scalp (no more than 18-22 pumps) 1 time per day and do not wash it off.
Outcome: many small hairs appeared.
But recently I abandoned it, as the roots with this tool are more oily.

2. Mask Russian field with pepper
Everyone knows the mask.

I put it on the roots, and for the length of the oil mask, for warming I put on a bag, then a hat. The mask can be heated with a hair dryer. I go with it for an hour, then I wash it off with water and my head as usual.

8. Hair cutting, hot scissors
I go to the hairdresser every six months (I advise you to cut your hair as needed), but at home I regularly cut myself with flagella once a month to remove all the cut. I think there is no need to explain that split hair cannot be glued together, they only need to be cut off. If you do not cut your hair, then the split hair will only become more, the hair will break off, the length will stand still.
Therefore, the most successful option is a haircut with flagella, because the split hairs are removed both at the length and at the tips and the hairs grow further, the length is added.
Recently went for a procedure: hair cutting with hot scissors. I really liked it. First, they straightened my hair, then cut the length and ends of the hair with flagella. This is much better than I cut myself at home, because on straight hair the cut is clearly visible, and on curly hair it is almost invisible. The hair was insanely soft and smooth. Now I will always go to her.
But there are a couple but:
1) they didn’t wash my hair and didn’t put on any masks before the procedure, but this should be done (but I knew about it, I just warn you in advance);
2) before straightening, they did not apply any thermal protection to my hair and steam came from them. But this is a serious omission!

I think I will look for another master and before signing up, I will ask him what and how he will do.

9. Vitamins for hair
Every day (morning and evening) I take linseed oil. I also plan to buy other oils (cedar, pumpkin) and drink them every day.
I also took vitamins Perfectil, I liked them, but my aunt scared me that her friend (also a hair maniac) planted them in her stomach, and I decided to stop drinking them.
Since June I have been taking vitamins from Amway - NUTRILITE Double X with vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.

Sometimes I drink a course of vitamin pentovit. By the fall, I plan to buy vitamins for hair, skin and nails 21st Century Health Care Biotin at Eicherb or vitamins for hair, skin and nails Silettum.

10. Aroma combing.
I rarely do aroma combing, but I really like to do it with lavender essential oil.
I do it like this: I put a few drops of essential oil on a wooden comb (or bone) and carefully, and most importantly, carefully, comb my hair for at least 5 minutes (it is advisable not to touch the roots). Aroma combing is done only on clean hair(not smeared with anything!). It is advisable to ventilate the room before and after the procedure.
IMPORTANT! Before using an oil, make sure that you are not allergic to it and that you enjoy the smell of it.
Aroma combing should be done with natural essential oils (I like essential oils from Olesya Mustaeva's Workshop, sometimes I take them from Spivak, although even they are not very natural). But the essential oils from the pharmacy are definitely not natural.
I plan to buy myself a lot of delicious oils and take this matter seriously.
That's what I try to do head massage everyday.

Some more nuances
- Proper nutrition - pledge healthy hair! And their nutrition starts from within. Try to eat more healthy foods.
- Alcohol (smoking) - the enemy of your hair. It deprives your hair (of course, and not only them) of nutrition, shine.
- Need to get enough sleep.
- Drink 1.5-2 liters of water per day.

The difference in length between curly and straight hair is 11 centimeters (plus or minus a couple of centimeters. It all depends on the styling). Now, the length of my hair - 64 centimeters(in direct form), and in curly - about 53 centimeters.
This is how our curls "steal" the length

My mistakes in caring for curly hair:
1. Combing.
-Everyone knows that curls cannot be combed, as there will be fluff. And after all, I combed them and collected them in a tail until the 2nd year of the university. Horror.
- I used a bad comb, which simply simply tore my hair.
2. Wrong washing.
-I lathered the entire length of my hair, and I did not rub the shampoo in my palms, but poured it immediately on my head.
- I rubbed my hair along the entire length, roughly massaged the scalp with my nails.
Outcome: hair dried up, began to split strongly.
3. Drying hair with a towel.
Never rub your hair with a towel! From this, they are very confused, damaged and begin to split.
4. Do not let your hair dry out.
Before my hair care, I did not think about any sprays, masks and other things for moisturizing. Curly hair is dry hair.
5. Combing wet hair.
I used to brush wet hair, and combed with such combs that tore out shreds of my hair. Remember, wet hair should not be combed! But wet hair, with moisturizers applied to them, is possible, which I sometimes do.
6. Hairdryer, iron, curling iron.
I always dry my hair in a natural way, I use a hair dryer very rarely (when I'm in a hurry somewhere and only with cold air), I straightened my hair with an iron in the salon once in my life, when I cut it with flagella. The pad has never been used.
7. Rubber bands, hair clips.
- You can not use elastic bands with iron inserts, they tear your hair! Also, tight rubber bands should not be used.
8. Paint
I have never dyed because I think it is bad for curls (until I have gray hair, I definitely won't do it). But someday I will have to do this, and then I will use only good professional paints.

Well, a couple more tips:
1. Never do keratin straightening. It is very damaging to the hair! (My personal opinion)
2. Choose a hairdresser very carefully (preferably one who knows how to work with your hair type). I think many have read about the cases that the hairdresser, instead of a centimeter of hair, cut off 5 centimeters (it's still lucky for anyone). So that this does not happen to you, you need a proven master with light hand. Either cut your own hair (I often cut my hair with flagella) or ask relatives.
3. Do not sleep with loose hair, as they are very tangled (it is better to collect them in a "pineapple" or in a braid).
My advice is my personal experience and I'm just sharing it with you.
I have been writing this review for a very long time and I hope you find it useful!

curly curls - real gift nature. With such hair, you do not need to use stylers or curling irons to create curls, but more often such strands are of a combined type. Lush tips are prone to dryness, and roots are prone to oiliness. Therefore, competent care for curly hair is of great importance.

Hair Type Features

Comprehensive studies of the hair structure in different girls, conducted by scientists, made it possible to establish the causes of the formation of curls. After cutting the hair, the specialists examined the obtained sections using a microscope. From the total volume of the studied material allocated 3 different forms Cut: Perfectly round, slightly flattened and distinctly oval.

Strands with a clear round configuration were straight and very rigid. More often, such curls have a black or dark chestnut tint, and sometimes red. Typical representatives are residents of Asian states and the Middle East.

Oval or elliptical cut inherent in curly curls. The degree of curlyness directly depends on the flattening of the hairs. The more it is expressed, the stronger the hair curls. This feature is most revealed in the dark-skinned races of the Earth. Europeans usually have more light shades curls (from blond to dark blond) and an even section. Often, their strands curl only in childhood.

The shape of the bulbs also affects the formation of curls. When the follicle is curved, waves form on the hair. If the structure is even, then the hairs will be straight. It can also be explained by a genetic predisposition - when one parent has a curly structure of curls.

Attention! Curly hair is also affected by other factors related to human health. An example is a previous illness, hormonal failure and the use of chemicals.

Characteristic differences

Girls with curly and curly hair usually face a number of problems:

• dryness and brittleness;
• difficult combing;
• penchant for fluffiness.

These factors arise due to the structural features of the hair shafts, which are a trunk surrounded by tightly adjoining scales. V winter time under conditions of increased air humidity, the surface swells, and gaps form between the cuticle.

Because of this, various substances freely enter the structure and provoke a loss of elasticity.

Attention! Curls are the least resistant to external factors, since cracks appear in places of numerous bends. Thermal devices such as a styler (ironing iron) and a hair dryer injure curly strands. Other sources of artificial heat are similarly damaging to hair.

Lightening curls, perms and coloring also cause serious damage to the hair. The result of such experiments is: the section of the ends and the entire length, tangling and complex combing. The use of special masks that envelop the surface of each hair with a protective layer helps to avoid such consequences.

Curly, fluffy or wavy hair can hardly be called attractive. The strands are often tangled and difficult to style. Dryness skin often leads to dandruff. For this reason, competent restoration of curls and beautiful styling are not all the necessary conditions for a well-groomed appearance. The constant preservation and maintenance of health are no less important.

The opening of the scales covering the hair causes frizz. Sometimes this feature is natural, and in some situations, healthy strands suddenly become fluffy. An unequivocal reason for the appearance of this effect has not been established. This is due to the strong electrification of the hair, lack of moisture and dryness.

Why did the strands become curly

There are a number of factors that cause unpleasant transformations:

• negative natural and weather factors;
• hardness of water;
• insufficient care or poor quality of cosmetic products;
• dehydration of the body as a whole;
• improper diet and diet;
• regular use of ironing or hair dryer;
• frequent dyeing, bleaching and perms;
• illness, stress, lack of rest and sleep;
• pregnancy;
• hormonal changes;
• moving and subsequent acclimatization.

It is worth noting, that the extraneous factors that caused the fluffiness of the curls are easier to eliminate than to correct the genetically inherent feature.

Improper washing, drying and combing injure the hair structure, therefore, you should study all the nuances of proper care for curly curls.

There is also a reverse situation. Previously, the strands were curled, and then suddenly became straight. Often this result is given by the coloring procedure, which straightens the hair due to weighting. Certain brands of shampoos and conditioners have smoothing properties, so you should read the annotation for it before buying any product.

Fundamental rules

Some women do not like the wavy structure of the curls, as they are easily tangled, frizzy and need serious maintenance. Other girls are quite happy with their appearance, because they know all the intricacies of handling curly hair.

Choice of detergents and care products

Shampoo. The basis of the health of strands of any type is the right choice of washing cosmetics. If the curls are healthy and strong, it is allowed to use products for curly hair. Otherwise, when choosing a remedy, it is necessary to take into account the state of the structure and type of the scalp.

For overdried strands, you will need a shampoo that will provide additional moisture. This property is achieved through the use of extracts of lotus, cornflower, licorice, witch hazel, jojoba and coconut oils.

Thin curls need a firming and protective effect. Such products contain extracts of horseradish, sage and papain. It is better to refuse shampoos that give extra volume to curls. Such products destroy the wavy structure, which provokes brittleness. As a result, care for curly and naughty strands will be useless.

Balm. The hair will be nourished by applying a conditioner or balm after washing. These cosmetics are designed to additionally provide the structure with useful substances, regenerate damage, moisturize the scalp and facilitate the combing process.

The use of balm with a strong weakening of the hair is especially important.

Attention! Regular use of serums, oils and liquid keratin emulsions will have a beneficial effect. Such products are more effective than analogues and will facilitate the care of curly and naughty hair.

the washing up

This process is an important step in the proper care of curly hair. He has his own nuances.

1. Even those with oily hair should not wash their hair every day. Since the presence of curls implies volume of hair at the roots by default, no one will notice greasy. Too frequent use of shampoo is fraught with washing out of the protective layer, which adversely affects the functioning of the sebaceous glands. The best option is 3 washing procedures per week.
2. Shampoo should be applied only to the root zone to get rid of excess oil. Manipulations are performed in two repetitions.
3. Caring conditioners, masks and balms are applied to the entire length of the curls. "Two in one" products are categorically contraindicated. They cause dryness and splitting.
4. After washing, do not comb your hair. It is left to dry completely after drying with a towel. It is forbidden to rub curls. Instead, the fabric is placed around each strand and alternately compressed along its entire length until the entire volume is treated. Don't go to bed with wet hair.
5. Upon returning from the pool, swimming in the river or the sea, be sure to rinse the curls with fresh water. For a steam procedure in a bath or sauna, a special hat is put on.
6. Trichologists recommend buying a different brand of balm each time to increase effectiveness. Using the conditioner in sufficient quantity is a must. It is very difficult to maintain the health of curly and frizzy curls, however, using the right detergent and care product will ensure that the hair shines and strengthens it.
7. Curls can form due to lack of moisture. In this situation, a moisturizing shampoo in combination with a conditioner will help out. This method will eliminate the lack of moisture and give the hair a well-groomed appearance.
8. Any stay in the sun, in the cold and swimming does not affect the condition of the hair in the best way. For the purpose of care during such periods, you need to apply conditioner to the strands.

Deep-acting care products are a must-have if obedient and beautiful curls are your goal. Such cosmetics include masks, balms, sprays and conditioners.

Co-washing technique. The method of washing the hair with only one conditioner (without using shampoo) implies a more delicate variation of the process and is called Co-washing.

This option is specially designed for thin, dry and weak strands.

Important! For mixed, oily and normal hair types, this washing method is unacceptable.

1. Before starting, rinse the curls with cool water and wring out.
2. After that, the conditioner is applied in a dense layer throughout the volume of the hair.
3. Now you need to massage the ends and the root zone.
4. After 10-15 minutes, the product must be washed off.
5. The whole algorithm is repeated 2 more times.
6. After the procedure, the strands must be dried with a towel.

It is worth using this technique once a week, otherwise the hair will become waterlogged and sticky. There are no foaming substances in the air conditioners, so it will take a long time to massage the curls. To use the Co-washing technique on a permanent basis, the gentle type of washing is alternated with the usual one.

Drying

The natural drying process is a prerequisite for achieving and maintaining the beauty of the hair. The harmful effect of artificial heat that occurs during the use of a hair dryer leads to severe damage: brittleness and loss of shine.

The device should only be used in the most extreme cases. Curls should be blown with a cold stream of air at minimum power, directing the device to the root zone instead of the tips to create maximum volume.

Keep a heat protectant on hand at all times. It is better to purchase it in stores of professional hairdressing products. You can choose mousse, gel or spray depending on personal preference.

In the process of application, the composition is distributed over the hairs and envelops them with a film that prevents overheating and opening of the scales.

For drying, a combined method is also suitable. First you need to use a towel to collect moisture to squeeze each strand into a fist, creating curls. After about half an hour, the curls will dry out a little. The root zone should be treated with a hair dryer using a finger nozzle.

If finances allow, it is better to entrust the washing and drying of the hair to the professionals of the hairdressing salon. Beauty salons are equipped with special caps with ultraviolet radiation. They keep the shape of curls in its original state. At the end of the procedure, the curls will not fall apart into thin strands.

Combing

Any tool will not work here. To prevent cross-sections and injury to the scales it is worth buying a wooden comb or made of tortoise shell. The tool should be chosen large size with rare teeth. Combing is allowed only completely dry and moistened curls.

Attention! The use of a special spray will help facilitate combing. First, they need to spray the strands on each side. The tool prevents the interlacing of hairs among themselves, and also allows you to untangle them.

The process will require accuracy, as sudden movements will harm thinned hairs. They start from the ends of the strands and gradually rise higher and higher to the root zone. Curls can be shaped with a styling cream or gel by pressing each strand to the roots and twisting it into a spiral.

When curly hair is also thick and lush, a comb may not be able to cope. In this situation, the process is carried out with the help of fingers, imitating the movement of the comb after a slight drying of the curls.

Do not comb curly hair with massage brushes, even if it is made from natural bristles. As soon as the strands dry, the shape of the curls will be lost, and the head will look like a dandelion.

A haircut

The best solution to the problem is to remove the damaged areas, leaving only strong curls without sections. When the procedure is performed correctly, the hair will acquire a stylish and beautiful appearance. In case of dissatisfaction with the styling created by the master, you can independently give the hair the desired shape.

Girls with curly locks need to choose a hairdresser in order to use the services of one specialist. A qualified master is familiar with all the nuances of cutting curly strands. Enormous harm is done by milling the hair or removing the top layer with a special razor.

It is necessary to visit the salon immediately, when the appearance of the section of the tips became noticeable. Constant trimming will accelerate growth. Shearing with hot scissors ensures soldering of exfoliating scales and prevents further spread of damage.

A competent stylist knows that a haircut curly hair carried out exclusively on dry strands. Working with such curls requires scrupulousness and attention to the smallest details, so a beginner will not cope with it.

Among the many options for cutting curly hair, any girl will find the right one. It will simplify the styling process and add volume to thin strands by shortening in the style of a ladder or cascade. Straight bangs are contraindicated with a round or oval face shape, without a distinct line of cheekbones. An interesting option is a diagonal and stepped haircut. Bangs on curly hair will have to be straightened constantly.

hairstyles

Among the methods for resuscitating strands, in addition to balms and trimming, there are many other ways. A delicate attitude to the hair is the main criterion for maintaining the health of the hair. Do not braid them too tightly to avoid tangling.

At night, it is better to remove the curls in a loose braid or ponytail for easier styling in the morning. You should not use pillowcases made of coarse fabrics, as this also contributes to tangling the strands. It is recommended to choose silk or satin.

Important! You should realize the value of your own hair and remember that the hairs are identical in thickness to the needle, so they need careful care. Wet hair is most often injured due to improper handling.

For self-creation beautiful styling you need to treat the neck and parietal area with mousse, then sprinkle them with water and dry with a hairdryer. The result is a significant volume. To fix it, varnish is used.

styling
